Make the most out of your projects this summer by using the right products to get the job done the right way.
In areas where space is an issue, many landscapers are starting to look up for new project sites. A New York company, Rooftop Ready Seeds, answered this trend by offering a line of locally grown seeds tailored for the unique urban climate and container-planting conditions.
All of the seeds are open-pollinated and grown using organic methods in several rooftop locations in and around Brooklyn. A variety of seed types are available, including beans, chiles, flowers, greens, herbs, tomatoes and vegetables. More clients are also moving toward incorporating edibles into their landscapes, so these seeds can meet those growing needs. Planting instructions are available on the website, rooftopready.com.
